Volume of learning

Nominal or supervised hours represent structured learning and assessment activities required to sufficiently address the content in each unit of competency. Unsupervised hours represent activities that contribute to achieving the course outcomes but are not supervised by a provider’s trainer or assessor. e.g., private study and/or assignment work.

Nominal (supervised) hours + unsupervised hours = volume of learning
